12:00 pm
this bomb. this is the airport, and this is in burgas, bull garia, and they believe that the man in shorts carrying the backpack is the man and the bomb. i want to go to atika who was near where this bomb exploded. tell us more about this fake driver's license and what are the mistaking away from that? >> well, basically, they have narrowed it down to this person, because he was the only person killed in the blast who could not be identify ied. what they did find on him was this u.s. driver's license apparently from michigan, but it has been proven to be fake. so they cannot tell who is he is at this point, and you know what the nationality is. and having said that, several reports in the last few minutes by a bulgarian media saying that the name is meti gonzali and we
12:01 pm
have not confirmed that yet, but the bulgarian authorities believe it is a suspected suicide bomber, and they rick mag the conclusion not just from the security camera that they have released where you can see him sort of going around the terminal and checking it out an hour before the explosion, but also from the evidence on the ground and particularly in the way that the explosives were detonated and the way that his body parts were found indicate that it was a suicide bombing. >> atika, by that name that you gave us, do you know anything about the name? what kind of name it is, what the language is, perhaps where that would point to in terms of the nationality of this alleged attacker? >> we don't know yet. we are seeing conflicting reports. it could be an arabic name, but we can't say exactly from where in the world, and of course, that does not limit it to the simply middle east, but it is
12:02 pm
something to run by the ministry of interior and we had an interview with him where he said that there are a number of leads they are following, and there seem to be indications that the suspect was in the country for four days and possibly more than a week. he seemed to have entered from burgas airport and things they were following up and felt sensitive and did not want to let the public know yet, but with the name public, maybe they are willing to give us more details. >> sure. the guy in the video that we saw there, what part of the airport was he in? was he in a secure part of the airport? do we know? >> well, one of the interesting things about this is that he seems to have been in the terminal but not necessarily before you get to security. so his bags would not have been screened, and in fact, in the video, he looks very normal and that is what is eerie about it, looking up at the arrivals and the departures and he looks to have detonated the explosive out soo
12:03 pm
outside in the parking lot where there was no security at all, and this is something that the bulgarian authorities are now trying to look at. in fact, the airport is now just opening up behind me, and the passenger passengers are being allowed in and randomly checked now, and before they even get to the driveway. >> all right. atika, thank you very much and appreciate the details. israel is now blaming that bus attack in bulgaria on iran. >> yesterday's attack in bulgaria was perpetrated by hezbollah, iran's leading terrorist proxy. this attack was part of a global campaign of terror. carried out by iran and hezbollah. this campaign has reached a dozen countries on five continents. the world's leading powers should make it clear that iran is the country that stands behind this terror campaign. >> no statement from the iranian em b
12:04 pm
embassy, and they say that iran condemns all terrorist attacks as unacceptable. and i want to bring in hala gorani, and when you listen to benjamin netanyahu, does it seem that he has evidence to prove that iran is behind the attack? >> well, if they have evidence, we haven't seen it. and the accusation of it being iran came extremely quickly after the bomb itself that so tragically killed five israeli tourists and the bus driver as well by the way. this is shining the spotlight once again on the tense relationship between israel and iran and whether israel is basically ready to go to war over this. we heard from the minister of defense lahood barack and perhaps more restrained saying that israel would do everything possible to find those responsible and those who dispatched them and punish them. it doesn't sound like they are marching toward war just yet with iran specifically over the nuclear program. >> and iran denies this, and there is a lot of talk about the shadow war that is happening here, and you have a lot of the
12:05 pm
iranian nuclear scientists who have been assassinated around the world and they blame israel. they look at the bombing saying that israelis are attacked around the world and they blame iran, and is there some shadow war that is taking place and both sides deny? >> well, it appears it is that way, and if indeed leaders from both countries are saying is true, and if the nuclear scientists are being targeted because they are helping in some way as perceived by israel, to develop iran's nuclear program which many powers including the western powers are afraid is going to become a nuclear weapon, then indeed, you see a shadowy, kind of on the ground war between two nations. what is important though is, and this is for the region as well as for the united states is, is this going to turn into a unilateral israeli effort to bomb iran. hillary clinton was in israel a few days ago in what some people call the don't bomb iran tour, and don't do it yet. and it does not appear though that an incident such as this
12:06 pm
will be some sort of tipping point. >> thank you, hala. this is what we are working on this hour in "newsroom international." he was a first president to hold a cabinet member underwater, and we will speak to the former president of the maldives. >> and you think missiles and machine guns and tanks, and yes, it is where they are buying the weapons.
12:07 pm
12:08 pm
12:09 pm
maldives. in china, some families are finding ways to get around the government's one-child policy. it is not without risk. dan grant explains the length s that they will go through for a precious second child. >> reporter: what? two children? yes, it seems is the new chinese poster family, but while ordinary chinese can admire this very modern image, they get the real message. what has fairness got to do with it, this father says, if you
12:10 pm
have more money, you can have more children. if you are poor, you have only one child. or, you can break the law, just like this man. we can't even reveal his identity for fear of punishment in a country with one-child poli policy, he has two children. in this village, it is common. children are everywhere, and some families have as many as four, and they found ways to beat the system. after we had a second child, he says, we registered them both as twi twin twins. this father says that they have children in different cities or towns and register them later or even pay up to $1,000 for an illegal broker to fabricate documents, but they live with the fear of being caught and paying big fines. how effective is the one-child policy been? well, over the past 30 years, it is estimated to have reverted 100s of millions of births.
12:11 pm
now there are always some families though who are going to be able to find a loophole or simply cough up the cash to have the precious second child. >> i'm very as you say the luckiest girl in the world. >> reporter: why? because she has a big sister. more than 20 years ago, her parents paid a big price to have two kids, not just a big fine. >> my father lose his job. >> reporter: he lost his job? >> yes. and he and my mother also lost her job. >> reporter: yes, the father says, once i had two kids, i lost my job. but i'm not scared of that. i don't care. the most important thing is to raise my kids. this is for happiness. this has been a happy ending. they have a nice home, and she is studying while her sister works as a banker, but there is another more brutal side to the policy. this photo of a mother forced
12:12 pm
into an abortion was released on the internet. it went right across the world showing her fully formed fetus beside her. how very different from china's image of the new dream family. stan grant, cnn, beijing. i want to get to susan rice, u.s. representative to the u.n. who is speaking now regarding syria and other matters. let's listen in. >> to the potential for consequences of noncompliance or to improve the situation on the ground doesn't make any sense which is in effect what the russian draft would have done with some additional verbiage, and i think it is clear that as they chose not to put the text to a vote, they didn't have nine votes for the text. now, we might be prepared to consider a final brief extension of the mission should that be proposed, if the it would allow for the monitors and the
12:13 pm
civilian staff to withdraw safely and orderly, and make it clear that unless and until circumstances dramatically change that the government suddenly or finally adheres to the obligations under the six-point plan and the conditions change on the ground that it is not viable for the mission to continue. >> thank you. ambassador rice, what is the message that the failure of the resolution sends, and what other steps are there? what is the next steps in terms of the consequences other than unilateral sanctions from each country? anything else that the u.n. can do? >> sadly the message that it sends as i said in the council is that two permanent members are willing to defend assad and protect him to the bitter end even when it seems logically not to be in their interests. i think that the consequence of today's action is that the situation will continue to deteriorate. and that the best efforts of kofi annan and this council to
12:14 pm
stem the fighting and to launch a political process have not thus far succeeded. from the united states' point of view, as i said in the explanation of vote, will continue to support the syrian people, and continue to support any prospect of a peaceful political transition and continue to provide humanitarian aid, but we and others will have no choice but to look for partnerships and actions outside of the council to protect the syrian people. >> ambassador, you mentioned concern about syria's chemical weapons and in your estimation, how likely is it that he will unleash those to the general population? >> we have maerd it repeatedly clear that any use or transfer of chemical weapons would result in those responsible being held accountable. i think that it's vitally important that there be no ambiguity of the severity of
12:15 pm
such a step. indeed, we have said repeatedly, it is the responsibility of the government to secure the stockpiles and we wish to see that is indeed the case. >> ambassador, do the two vetoes mean that the diplomatic efforts to resolve this here at the u.n. are over, and how will history look upon what happened today? >> well, i think that history will judge those that three times have blocked the council action quite harshly, and this resolution and even the third one did not, itself, impose sanction, but it simply said that should the situation persist, that sanctions might be the next step within a short period of time, and it merely took the decisions that this council has already made and put them under chapter 7. it merely took the action planning a greed in geneva by all of the permanent members and made it more binding under
12:16 pm
chapter 7. so, i think that history will judge harshly those who prevent ed this council repeatedly from assumingen the most basic responsibilities. >> yeah, sure. i wanted to ask you, you spoke about russia and china, but what about the abstentions of pakistan and south africa and specifically south africa said it was a one-sided resolution because it would only sanction the government and not getting them to comply with the six-point plan and what is the criticism of that plan? >> well, the resolution was balanced and it did contain alternatives as does the annan plan, itself n the action plan and made clear that as consistent with the annan plan that the first step has to be the government which accepted this obligation to halt the use of heavy weapons and to redeploy its forces away from the population centers.
12:17 pm
that is heart of annon plan pla that is what the council has endorsed. we have not backed up the endorsement with what the secretary-general urges for compliance. the resolution drafted was fully consistent with the six-point plan and what kofi annan and secretary-general ban ki-moon asked of the council and shirely at the 11th hour not necessary to rewrite the annan plan. thank you. you have been listening to the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., susan rice, and condemning china and russia for vetoing what would have led to the eventual sanctions of syria and assad's regime saying that history and they would be judged harshly, and history would judge them harshly, and also saying that they were concerned about the chemical weapons in syria. they would work with other bodies and we are not sure what international bodies she is talk about to make sure that the chemical weapons were in fact
12:18 pm
secure. a lot of frustration, you can see a lot of disappointment from the am bbassador there and othe, part of the world body trying to hold the assad regime accountable for the violence that we have seen over the last 17 months. and our next story, he was the first president to hold a cabinet meeting underwater. and now he has been thrown out in a coupe. we will speak to the former president of the maldives.
12:19 pm
12:20 pm
12:21 pm
welcome back to "newsroom international" where we take you around the world in 60 minutes. over the past few months the maldives has been a country in crisis politically and environmentally. it is a cluster of 1,200 islands in the indian ocean near sri lanka, and just a few feet above sea level which makes it the earth's lowest country. the maldives' president is a national leader on the climate issues and he wants the world the do more to save the island chain from rising sea waters. what did he do? he once held a cabinet meeting underwater to highlight the threat of global warning to the maldives. but in february, he was ousted
12:22 pm
as what he described was a coup at gunpoint. he is live at the capital of maldives and it is interesting to get you there, because you can't get to a camera and you don't have a station to allow you to do that. first of all, who is in charge in your country right now? >> well, the dictatorship is back again, and with that and also with more support from the islamic radicals and the military and the police. they are in control with our vice president. we have had this situation since february 7th, and the people of the maldives are asking for an election, and to have an election during the course of this year. the more longer it takes without an election, the dictatorship is getting entrenched, and they are in fact obscuring the situation to the extent to where a free and fair election cannot happen.
12:23 pm
>> sure. i'm sorry, are you trying to get your job back? do you feel like you are safe where you are? >> well, you know, actually my presidency is not the issue here. the issue is that the people of the maldives for the first time in 2008 was able to have a free and fair election, and multi-party election and choose a president for themselves. they want to be governed by someone that they elect, not someone that is formed through brute force. so we have to have an election and these elections have to happen quickly. if we don't have it, the dictatorship is getting consolidated and the more and more time lapses by, and an election becomes more and more elusive. >> are you worried that the situation in your country is deteriorating and you have what looks like to us is really a very chaotic situation. >> well, it is very rapidly slipping away, and the democracy
12:24 pm
gains made since 2006, '07, '08, '09 and '10 and '11 are slipping away. the islamic radicaling are getting more and more powerful and more entrenchfed and the economy is doing very, very badly and the tourist arrivals are falling rapidly and the country is going into debt and we are going into a serious situation. at the same time, we have the people of the maldives out on the streets everyday and every night calling for the election. we must have an election as quickly as possible in the maldives. >> you caught our attention because recently you left your country to promote a documentary featuring you, because you are trying to save the island from going underwater and it is called "the island president" and you made the rounds and you"
12:25 pm
let's watch. >> and are you a fugitive? >> well shgs, i hope on your sh security and safety and they will see me and not murder me. >> that is why you are here today? [ laughter ] >> they are trying to do that. >> you have risked your life to be here. i really should have watched that movie. >> so, you do have a pretty good sense of humor about that, and what is taking place. go ahead, seriously, how do you plan to try to get the country and the mission back on track, because you have this documentary out there that really calls attention to a very serious problem about your island. >> well, climate change is a serious issue, and it is happening now. we must believe in it. and we must act now. we have to be able to come out with a legally binding agreement that eliminates carbon emission.
12:26 pm
we have the new technology which is available where we can have a more low carbon strategy, and develop i developing countries can do that. and developed countries can do that and we must all get together and get it sorted. we can't have cut deals with the law laws of nature, and this is real. and it is happening. the people in this, on this planet must understand that there are national boundaries to everything. and we must be able to live within it. >> and did you feel like making the rounds of the "the daily show" and the documentary, do you believe it is helping people in the country and do they feel like people are paying attention to what is going on there? >> well, yes, a vast majority are now and even those watching this, and i would like to say this to them, that tomorrow would be ramadan, and i would like to say to all of the
12:27 pm
maldiviana and we are the first country to come up with a democracy or free elections. and we were able to do it in 2008. maldives in many, many ways are very, very similar to what is happening in the middle east. and the president there used to be in the same university as mubarak. so there are so many similarities that are going on. i would like to extend my greetings to all of them. >> happy ramadan to you as well. we appreciate the greetings there, and obviously, get back to us and let us know what is happening in the country and whether or not you get the job back or whether or not there are democratic elections to be restored there and we certainly hope that you are safe as well. thank you very much. appreciate your time. a new symbol of freedom in egypt. men with beards before the uprising, you could be pulled over just for having one.

you might notice more men wearing beards in egypt since the fall of the mubarak regime. muslim men around the country are letting the whiskers grow as a symbol of the religion and newfound freedom and as a extension of the palace, morrissey is the first bearded egyptian president, and michael holmes is here to talk about all of the hair here. when i went to i jiegypt the yog westernized guys did not have facial hair and then the more conservatives who did. what is the significance of this? >> well, for the muslims, they see the growing of the beard as a symbol of religious piety and somehow linked to showing the religiousness if you like. it is actually not written anywhere in islam, but it is seen that way. you go to a lot of the muslim
12:32 pm
countries and you will see a lot of the more traditionalists with the beards. what has changed now in egypt though that makes it interesting is that you are now seeing the beards popping up in places that you didn't before, policemen, flight attendants and even the anchors on the tv news, and you are also seeing on the other side, the women are starting to wear head scarves if they want to. it is an expression of freedom if you like under the new democracy. >> and why wasn't president mubarak, the former president, not allowing people to express themselves in that way? what was he so afraid of? >> well, that is interesting, because under mubarak, secularism was the norm, and he saw it as a threat, because he was so secular himself, he thought that if there were any islamism growing in his country, it was a threat to the government. so what did he do? he basically outlawed any sort of, and i don't want to say
12:33 pm
extreme ic extremism, but any outward expression of fervor, and part of it was beards. so basically, if you wore a beard in -- egypt, and you could not do it or you would not get the job, like fireman and policeman and banned, and the army of course is the same. and so what happened in a period over decades is that people became afraid of beards as well, because it represented the devil that mubarak and the regime had created islam to be. islam was equated with t terrorism, and they were the devil. and so this atmosphere of fearing the beard came out, and of course now an islamist in power, it is like, hey, beard time. that is frightening a lot of peopl people. >> yes, i wanted to ask if there is a flipside to that where people are thinking that there are more people who are extreme? >> yes, that is theflipside of people growing up through decades of the secularism, and now the beards are sprouting and
12:34 pm
even if they are not, people are seeing it in a way, and expressing with, for example, a legal issue here with something like 60-odd policemen suspended for growing beards and now all of the court cases coming up that this is an expression of freedom, and that they should be allowed to have it. so it has actually gone to the courts now, beards and jobs and are you allowed or not allowed to tell somebody to have a beard. >> have to leave it there. did you have a beard? >> when i was 18, and it was pretty pathetic i have to say, in my newspaper days. >> you have to bring in a newspaper. >> and my hair was longer than yours. surfing days. >> thank you, michael. appreciate it. imagine the gathering of all of the military leaders in one room? it happens in jordan every two years. it is a weapons trade show and they are looking to buy missiles and tanks and bombs. one of the best things about state farm is our accessibility.
